    Hey,
    I want to change a thing, text font size, bold, frames etc.
    Unfortunately'm not a boss on my computer, a system administrator seems to have taken it from me!
    How can I change this?
    When I click on the question why .... then nothing happens!
    And the font size so I can not use.
    Would like to change more but do not know how!

    Hi Tom Emmelot, To change the size of text, apps and other items - Right click Start button > Control Panel > Display > is this where you are trying to make your changes?
    As LJ has already asked the question - is this your Personal Comp or are you in a work area (Office)? Neil.

    Hi, my home computer and i am the administrator and now if i come to change the screen, at the top is says that some things wont work because the system administrator is in charge! But thats me i thought!
    So it is at more points at the moment where this systemadmin is the boss!
    So i am puzzled!

    Kind regards,
    Tom

    Try right clicking on it and choose Run As Administrator and see if that works.

    A long shot, but I remember seeing a similar message when attempting to change a setting - can't remember which one, but the solution, which would appear to be completely unrelated, was ......

    Settings > Privacy > Feedback & Diagnostics and set Diagnostic and Usage Data to Enhanced - I had it set to Basic.

    Check out your setting.

    I don't know whether my experience will help, but, my Genius keyboard has a Numeral pad/calculator on the right end of the keyboard. It's about 6 or7 years old and has a software CD supplied. It has worked OK with XP/Vista/W7/W8.1. When W10 installed - the number pad/calculator would not work - I had to use the numbers on the top of the keyboard. I ran the CD software and W10 would not run it. I emailed the the keyboard manufacturer for drivers to suit W10 and they apologized and said that it was out of production and couldn't help.
    I was resigned to using the numbers on the upper part of the keyboard and left it at that. I've been using it for over 9 months like this.
    Three days ago the calculator/number pad started working!:eek::D.
    Go figure that one. This Genius keyboard is Model KB-29e Calculator and has media control unit and lots of other goodies built in. It is now working as new :D Is this down to W10 - I'm happy but like you - I don't know what fixed it. Neil.
